I just dropped the price so the autotrader ad will be down for a couple hours but here's the link:

It was stolen in Illinois for the Concept Neeper Neptune wheels that were on it in April of 00' with 94k. When the guy I bought it from brought it to Arizona the DOT here issued a salvage title as AZ does this for every stolen vehicle regardless of condition. See here for info:
http://www.dot.state.az.us/mvd/faqs/scripts/faqs.asp?section=vi
Once the guy ran it thru a level III inspection the title was cleared. The current title doesn't say salvage or anything of the like on it.

If you want to make it perfect it needs:
- A torque converter - it refuses to lock up...I've troubleshot the system and everything works as advertised except the converter itself (replaced the solenoid in the valve body too)
- Starter solenoid wire requires replacement (click, click, start purple wire syndrome)
- Rear hatch glass doesn't always release the first time you press the button
- No keyless remote
- A drivers side torsion bar mount (clunks when turning left)
- New Shocks (I have a brand new set of Bilstein Sports going with the truck that I haven't installed yet)
- New Front Brake pads (just starting to hit the wear indicators)
- Valve Seals (smokes for a second after a hot start)
- Drivers power window falls out of the rear guide when its raised (window tilts foreward)
- Passenger Power Window motor is weak
- A/C works but not as good as it should (probably needs a recharge)
- Heater core was bypassed by previous owner with a "U" pipe. Knowing heater cores on these trucks the welds on the hard lines to the core endtanks are probably broken and leaking so it most likely requires replacement
- Drivers door trim rattles (needs to be re-attatched with new fasteners)
- Dash is cracked in a few places around the front speakers
- With the door open the power lock switch on the drivers side was intermittent for a while then finally quit working about 2 weeks ago (works with the door closed so the wiring has broken in the door jamb)
- Rear wiper stops immediately when you turn off the switch (95% of the time it doesn't "park" at the top like it should)
- Stock CD player doesn't work (but I have a FM modulated Pioneer 6 disc in it)
- A couple tiny rust spots above the rear glass (and I do mean TINY)
- Rear roll pan needs to be wet sanded and buffed out

Besides those things everything else is A-OK. The motor and the tranny are very healthy.
